Ryan Clarke Is The New Number One

United sign experienced goalkeeper

UNITED have agreed terms with Ryan Clarke to take on the gloves as our goalkeeper for the new season.

A terrific career between the sticks has seen Clarke represent Oxford United for more than six seasons, as well as spells with the likes of Bristol Rovers, Northampton Town, AFC Wimbledon and Eastleigh.

Following the departure of Brendan Moore, United boss Kevin Nicholson has turned to an experienced high-quality glovesman for the campaign ahead, with excitement levels cranking up another notch as we approach the start of pre-season training on Wednesday.

“I am delighted to secure the services of Ryan, a proven goalkeeper at this level and levels above,” said Nicho. “He provides a big voice and a commanding presence for those around him.

“He is fine all-round goalkeeper and in such an important position on the pitch, Ryan was the outstanding candidate in a strong field of goalkeepers I interviewed. We are all very happy to welcome Ryan to the club.

“He had a stop-start season last year and has shown a determination to come to a club where he can play, develop and lead. He fits all my criteria for character and attitude, which, as always, is the number one quality I look for in recruiting players.
